It all started with Wale the rapper, who sprayed money on his daughter during her birthday.

Americans got mad but Wale’s not about to apologise for his heritage. In fact, here’s what he told TMZ.

You would think that will make them chill. Not for a second. When BBC carried the story, Americans came to sit on their TL, throwing words like vulgar and rape and what not about.

But if you know Nigerians, they gave it to them. There were one or two Nigerians though, going on about the culture being vulgar and enabling corruption.

See the dramatic exchange below:

Here come the “poke nosers”

You probably to young but they had money showers on shows like "The Price is Right" an American show. To each their own.

Not just rape. Stripping, too?

This the US, everyone knows throwing money on a broad is degrading. Unless she's a stripper. Which still is??‍♂️ but it's a job

Why the painment?

Idk! From the responses I've seen from white people over this, though, they seem to think it's "the same as with strippers". A whole reach.

But, rape though!

Like why are all the Americans in the comments comparing spraying money to rape?? How are they even related?

— [Ade]kemi (@GuccisGravity) August 2, 2017

That's the only thing they think about

— Valkyrie?? (@CO_Chiamaka) August 2, 2017

This white people are just unbelievable!!! How can you compare say spraying money is vulgar and compare it rape??

People always criticize what they do not understand… which is why it's so important to mind your own dam business and let people do them!

Its disgusting that people will even equate "spraying" a baby with spraying a stripper money.

If u don't understand my culture stay in your lane. We do this at weddings, parties, anything that calls for celebration or praise..

American has no culture so they spend their time being pressed about everyone else's culture like their opinions about it matter.

Gerrarahere

White Westerners: Spraying money is degrading and vile, same way we don't accept honour killing and rape culture.

To be honest, if you're not Nigerian or even African, see yourself out of this thread. Y'all like to spread your poison everywhere you can.
